Consumer Narrative
Stranger online message me on XXXX. His name is XXXX XXXX. We talked for 3 months, and became friends. He say he help me make money in Crypto. I was convinced when he showed me that he was making money from Crypto trading. He provided me links to download Cryto.com and XXXX app on my XXXX. Since I didn't have money, I had to borrower from my credits, and applied for personal loans with institutions. The person gave me links to multiple online lenders, and I applied to all of them hoping they would lend me money. XXXX online lenders approved me : XXXX XXXX for {$23000.00} and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$32000.00}. I have outstanding balances on credit cards. My initial investment to Crypto was {$88000.00}. I profited {$220000.00}, and when I sold my Ethereum coin from XXXX, XXXX customer support texted me that I had to pay 30 % in " Profit tax '' in order to withdraw my money. XXXX wanted about {$74000.00} for " Profit tax ''. I wired in {$46000.00} that I borrowed from my brother, and my friend said he would send in the remaining {$30000.00}. After XXXX received the money, they told me my account number was entered incorrectly so they couldn't wire me my money, and would need 10 % deposit so they could unfreeze my account. I had my son and brothers look into this, and determined this was all a potential scammed.
